SECURITY

Lessonly has implemented processes intended to protect user information and maintain security of data that we process. Each account holder is assigned a unique user name and password, which is required to access their account. It is your responsibility to protect the security of this login information. When you enter sensitive information (such as your login information) on our site, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We have attempted to protect Lessonly’s servers by locating them in areas with security procedures, use of firewalls and implementing other generally available security technologies. These safeguards help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of data, but no guarantee can be made that you information and data will be secure from intrusions and unauthorized release to third parties.

APPLICATION DATA

As part of the Lessonly Service, we store the lessons you build and any data that was collected from those lessons. We respect the privacy of all users, and consider all data that is collected to be private. Lessonly may access this data only for the purpose of providing the Lessonly Service, preventing or addressing service or technical problems, at a Customer’s request in connection with customer support matters, or as may be required by law. Lessonly will not distribute or sell your information to a third party, except as disclosed in this policy. When you utilize the Lessonly Service from outside of the United States, data is submitted and transferred into the United States and you hereby consent to such transfer.

Lessonly collects information under the direction of our clients (“Clients”), and has no direct relationship with the individuals whose personal information it processes. We collect information for our Clients, if you are a customer of one of our Clients and would no longer like to be contacted by one of our Clients that use our Service, please contact the Client that you interact with directly.

ACCOUNT INFORMATION

We collect email addresses from those who contact us via email, and ask for information such as email address and name when you sign up for an account with Lessonly. The information we collect is not distributed or sold to a third party. It will only be used to communicate with you about your Lessonly account, and where needed as part of certain Lessonly features. You may update, change or delete your account information at any time by accessing your information on your account or contact us at support@lessonly.com or by contacting us by telephone or postal mail at the contact information listed below. We will respond to your request to access personal information within 30 days.

We will retain information we process on behalf of our Clients for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services to our Client. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter, we will use your name and email address to send the newsletter to you.

WEB SERVER LOGS

For statistical purposes, Lessonly will gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. These log files contain standard information collected by web servers, such as Client IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), operating system, etc. This information is only used internally, and is not distributed or sold to a third party. Lessonly uses this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the Lessonly website and to gather demographic information about its user base as a whole. Lessonly does not link this automatically collected data to personal information.

ONWARD TRANSFER

We will share your personal information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, any information collected by Lessonly may be shared if it is necessary to investigate, prevent or prosecute illegal activities, suspected fraud, violations to the Terms and Conditions, or as otherwise required by law or a valid government request (including, but not limited to, search warrants, subpoenas or court orders) and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety or the safety of others. Lessonly may also share information if it is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Lessonly will notify you via email and or a prominent notice on our website before information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We may be required to disclose an individual’s personal information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

We also may provide your personal information to companies that provide services to help us with our business activities such as, but not limited to, our hosting or analytics provider. These companies are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us.

Lessonly is potentially liable under the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles in cases of onward transfer of data about EU and Swiss individuals to a third party acting on behalf of Lessonly as its agent if the third party engages in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield Principles and Lessonly is responsible for the event giving rise to damages.

Lessonly shall ensure that any third party to which we disclose personal information provides the same level of privacy protection as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles and agrees in writing to provide an adequate level of privacy protection. Prior to disclosing personal information to a third party that is not acting as Lessonly’s agent, we will notify you of such disclosure and provide you with the choice to opt-out of the disclosure.

CHOICE

We provide you the opportunity to “opt-out” of having your personal information used or disclosed for certain purposes. Specifically, we offer you the opportunity to opt-out of: (1) the disclosure of your personal information to a third party that is not acting as an agent of Lessonly, and (2) the use of your personal information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. To limit the use and disclosure of your personal information, please email us at support@lessonly.com.

When we collect sensitive personal information (such as personal information about your medical or health conditions, racial or ethnic origin, political, religious, or philosophical opinions and beliefs, trade union membership, or sex life) from you, we will first obtain your affirmative, express (“opt-in”) consent prior to disclosing the sensitive personal information to a third party or using it for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you.

ACCESS TO PERSONAL INFORMATION

You have the right to access the personal data we hold. Upon request, we will provide you with access to the personal information that we hold about you. You may also may correct, amend, or delete the personal information we hold about you. Your right to access your personal information may be restricted in exceptional circumstances, including, but not limited to, when the burden or expense of providing this access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy in the case in question, or when the rights of persons other than you would be violated by the provision of such access. If we determine that your access should be restricted in a particular instance, we will provide you with an explanation of our determination and respond to any inquiries you may have.
